The book publication won two awards from the Association of American Publishers in March for “Professional and Scholarly Excellence”  in the Economics category and  the “Single Volume” category.

James Cheshire, co-author of The Atlas of Finance, reflects on this achievement:
"Maps and graphics are an important way into complex datasets, and the Atlas of Finance was a huge interdisciplinary and international team effort, so I'm delighted to see it gaining recognition across such a breadth of award categories." 

More about the book publication:
The Atlas of Finance is a unique illustrated exploration of the development of finance that combines data from every part of the world and covers five thousand years of history
 
From the emergence of money in the ancient world to today’s interconnected landscape of high-frequency trading and cryptocurrency, the story of finance has always taken place on an international stage. Finance is one of the most globalized and networked of human activities, and one of the most important social technologies ever invented.
 
This volume, the first visually based book dedicated to finance, uses graphics and maps to bring the complex and abstract world of finance down to earth, showing how geography is fundamental for understanding finance, and vice versa. It illuminates the people—including Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes—who have shaped our thinking about global finance; brings to life the ways that place-specific histories, laws, regulations, and institutions influence finance; shows how finance relates to innovation, globalization, and environmental change; and details how finance plays a key part in drawing the landscape of uneven development, inequality, and instability.
 
The Atlas of Finance, with word and image, will change the way you view both your money and your world.
